Close to the main tourist places (Notre-Dame, place des Vosges, Pompidou Center, Le Louvre…)the hotel is situated in the historical and cultural center of Paris at the heart of the Gay quarter, in a 5 storey 17th century listed building.
On the ground floor is the long established gay bar “Le Central”, known as “the International gay rendezvous in Paris”; an ideal place to meet friends and ask for information on visiting Paris.
The barmen (English speaking) act as receptionists when the reception office is closed.
